@OpenComputeDesign The #Reddit 3D printing communities are also amazing and very supportive. If you have a specific use case, I am subscribed to most of them and can easily point you in the right direction.Then you also get the #Discord communities created by most #Youtube creators. If you find a creator printing things and projects you like, most of the time they have a Discord server with like minded people.@3dprinting #3dprinting

@OpenComputeDesign In regard to strength. It depends on what you want to do. You can share some parts you made I can give you some advice.The strength of the part is dependent on the material you use. PLA is a soft material, but very easy to print. It is usually the beginner material, however some professionals still use it because it is cheaper in some regions.Personally, I print with ABS. It is more difficult to print with, but has a higher thermal resistance than PLA, which can become soft in direct sunlight. It however needs an enclosure and has some other problems, but it is quite strong.Then you get PETG, which is like the in between. Most people move to it once they get the hang of it. It has the ease of PLA, but more advantages of ABS.Then you get TPU, the flexible filament. Some people never touch it, depends on your use-case. It can be difficult, depending on the stiffness you want.@3dprinting #3dprinting

@OpenComputeDesign Then you get Nylon. Now we are moving to the more difficult materials.Nylon needs higher temperatures, my printer for example can't print it because I can't reach those temperatures. I also think it needs an enclosure and is notoriously frustrating because it absorbs moisture very easily, which ruins filament btw.Other more engineering materials aren't worth mentioning here, because they require expertise materials, but you can easily find lists of 3D printing materials.https://www.matterhackers.com/store/c/3d-printer-filamenthttps://all3dp.com/1/3d-printer-filament-types-3d-printing-3d-filament/https://3dinsider.com/3d-printing-materials/@3dprinting #3dprinting

@OpenComputeDesign The strength is also dependent on your gemoetry. Of course plastic isn't as strong as metal, but do you really need that strength?Sometimes metal seems very strong, but plastic will also work, the metal is a lot stronger than what you actually need.Then we also have some tricks in the 3D printing world, we manipulate our gemoetries. We print in different orientations and use different temperature settings. Here are some good videos on the topic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbSQvJJjw2Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZqJtEOWjEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chCmwSdQzcEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ygdNQThAshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3bwJx8ZkMAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG8dlxTX3AIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAoZCpXoPWohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3aUGmfnmIgAl these videos are made by #CNCKitchen, a great #Youtube creator that does many experiments.@3dprinting #3dprinting

@OpenComputeDesign The noise and smell of a 3D printer is dependent on the material and printer you use.As mentioned before, ABS and ASA has a strong smell, PLA doesn't. Some wood filaments can also smell very bad I've heard, but never printed with them.The noise of the printer is dependent on the printer, fans and speed you print at. Mine can be as soft as a normal desktop PC or be louder than the average volume I watch #Youtube videos at. It depends on the speed that I print at. People mod their printers, add quieter, smaller or bigger fans. I have a nosier fan now, but I added extra cooling fans because of my enclosure.The enclosure also muffles the smell and noise, so it depends.@3dprinting #3dprinting

@OpenComputeDesign Just a side note. Until now I have been speaking about #FDM printing, you also get #resin printing, but that is more for other stuff like mini figures.Personally I don't have one, have any experience, but know a lot from the content I watch online.It requires more workspace, safety equipment and tools, and I invite an actual user of resin printers to please advise due to their experience.Personally, I don't think resin printing is the thing you are looking for@3dprinting #3dprinting

@OpenComputeDesign Finally, the cost.You can spend anything from $100 to $10000 on a printer. It is like drones. You get what you pay for. I would personally stay within the $300 to $1500 range for a hobbyist printer.Filament cost depends on the filament you use. I use ABS, it is more expensive in other regions, but for some reason I get it for almost half the cost of PLA.It also depends on how much you print. I print a lot, for me. I go through a spool in about 3 months, which is about 1kg. Other people can print a spool out in a few days with a single print.It depends on the size and density of your prints.@3dprinting #3dprinting

@TavisB @OpenComputeDesign I lost my smell and taste completely after COVID, haven't been able to smell mine since.Makes things difficult when printing and building circuits. Before I could smell a short circuit, now I just see the smoke coming from my breadboards or feel that my chips are red-hot!

@OpenComputeDesign @TavisB It has been two years, hasn't gotten better, learned to live with it. I avoid stuff that has an awful smell and taste, some stuff has a pungent smell, and then I just set reminders for food, ovens, irons and anything that can burn. Oh, and a smoke alarm on my printer.

#Google’s nightmare “Web Integrity API” wants a #DRM gatekeeper for the web | #ArsTechnica Oh, great! Seems we have a 180° turn, and we are now doing the #NetNeutrality 2.0 discussion. Honestly, I always wonder how they think they could possibly implement something like this? Do they think no one in the tech world will notice and not resist something like this? Do they think this would just result in a 100% conversion rate and every single person would uinstall #Firefox and #Chrome would be the #Netscape of 2023? Now I understand why they removed the dislike button from #Youtube before they pitched this idea. This is such a #Zuckerberg idea. And the worst part is, he'll probably slap his sticker on this and we'll have this argument again in 6 month's where he'll want to limit the internet to people having VR headsets and being in the #metaverse.https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/07/googles-web-integrity-api-sounds-like-drm-for-the-web/#infosec #webintegrity #security

Many people argue that some #programming language is too slow for a task, this is often true, but what they don't realise, my language of choice isn't my bottleneck.For example, writing a #Mastodon bot like @Python. Currently, the webscraping and processing of posts to Python Discuss takes a few seconds, but a simple bot like @3dprinting has no such processing.So running the bot with #Rust would give me mo added benefit. Ok, cool, it now processes a new follower and sends a welcoming message within 0.1s instead of 0.11s. Cool, but you forget, we are using the same API, and this response time is negligible.

@atomicpoet Are you using #FireFish to actually post this. The app which you post with is not being listed below the post.

@ML2 @atomicpoet After the debacle I am switching to Mastodon.social.Techhub.social are making stupid decisions, and next gen instances like FireFish are buggy and slow.I need something reliable. I really was not a fun day to be in the fediverse today.

@Floppy @vandam So I looked into this. Allowing users to upload with #IPFS, a decentralized protocol replacement for #HTTP. Currently, I am benchmarking it by replacing my #Redis servers with it, just because I can for a few weeks.#ActivityPub can be extended to allow for some extra allocated fields, and a fork of #Mastodon can be made.Users will be able to upload their designs, and hosting would be decentealized and automatically spread around all users.It is possible. I will look into a prototype, allowing users to use a bot or something like @3dprinting to share their prints before going for a fork of #Mastodon. Also need to investigate existing Activity Pub solutions and would possibly use something like #Go for the backend.I'm still deciding on the front end.@3dprinting #3dprinting

@itnewsbot Part of #RaspberryPi and #Arduino is the set of standards. I rather buy standardized Arduino and RaspberryPi accessories than struggle with something else. RaspberryPi might be able to fund and maintain a modern standard, where Arduino might not be able to, simply due to their business models.
